Do I agree?

If you disagree with a rule, law, or public policy, it is better to remain silent than to speak out and risk punishment.

Last time I hqve been asked this question in class, I said yes. Today, now that I have read the beginning of "The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas", I realize that some people really don't have a choice and can't stand up for themselves. Today, I say NO. No, for letting people suffer from our laziness. No, for watching people doing things they are not supposed to do and letting them, because we're scared, scared of what is going to happen if we do take a stand. Some people don't have a choice, while we do, this is why we should never stay arms crossed when we have the possibility to help others, who's choices was made for them. One single voice could make a big difference.
